Anouska Coleman

A registered childminder from Romford was jailed for 16 years after attacking two babies in her care.

Anouska Coleman was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment for grievous bodily harm on a nine-month-old girl, and nine years’ imprisonment for grievous bodily harm on a seven-month-old girl, to run consecutively after appearing at Basildon Crown Court, on December 15.

The 37-year-old, of Lancing Road had called 999 at 3.55pm on March 16 2015 stating that the seven-month-old girl she was looking after had become unresponsive.

The baby was subsequently transferred to Great Ormond Street Hospital and diagnosed with suffering a bleed on the brain.

Medical examinations revealed the injury was most probably as a result of a trauma, which would have occurred shortly before the ambulance was called.

The exact cause of the baby’s injuries remains uncertain, but is likely to have involved an impact or impact with shaking.

Coleman was subsequently charged with grievous bodily harm.

Hammond was driving a silver Audi TT and began beeping her horn at the group.

She was on the phone, so the victim, 56-year-old Julie Holloway, tapped on her window and asked her to hang up.

Bursting into a fit of rage, Hammond began swearing at the victim before leaving her car in pursuit.

She then kicked Ms Holloway in the stomach and viciously bit off a piece of her ear before spitting it on the floor.

Hammond returned to her car and fled the scene.
